anything unless I specify an alternate superblock. It suggests the command 'e2fsck -b 8193'. But is that just a generic example, or is that probably a real alternate superblock?
Shouldn't hurt to try. It will contain if that's not a valid superblock.
I was not sure about that. But as you imply, there must be some signature in the superblock that makes it less likely to use random data as a superblock.
Are you on a raid? I had a case were a cable was loose and the raid wouldn't start up. However that only flashed by during startup and the first thing I really noticed was the system complaining about being unable to mount. And e2fsck obviously didn't work in that case ;) So make sure your drive is actually up. Took me a while to figure that out.
The disk is a single disk. I can access it just fine in read-only when the system forces me into maintenance mode during boot. It is just that the system will not fsck it, and thus will not mount it rw when the system boots. Of course, it is the root disk. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
